Lilac

Coeur de Lilas, also known as Lilac, was directed by Anatole Litvak and adapted from a play by Tristan Bernard and Charles Henry Hirsch. The story echoes The Threepenny Opera as heroine Lilac (Marcelle Romeo) moves among Paris's underworld and falls for a handsome detective (Andre Luguet), who ultimately chooses duty over love and turns her in. Costing $120,000, it was one of France's most expensive 1931 releases but recouped its cost at the box office.
